“Above and Beyond”

A group of World War II pilots from America and other countries – most of them Jewish, but not all — create the Israeli Air Force in 1948. They smuggle planes out of the U.S., defying the government embargo and risking their U.S. citizenship, and fly for Israel in its War of Independence. These machalniks (overseas volunteers who fought alongside Israeli forces) changed the course of the war.

This film can be streamed for free on Kanopy and Amazon Prime Video, as well as Tubi (with ads). It can be rented for $2.99 from Amazon, Vudu and Microsoft; and for $3.59 from YouTube and Google Play. There are two DVDs in the Westchester Public Library.

NOTE: There are several films with the same or similar title – be sure you are watching the 2014 documentary.
